Marvel Problems #011

Look at the 10 rings in that picture, and think of what could have been. Watch the trailer below, and imagine what we were promised. The Mandarin. The Iron Man villain we had been waiting for since Iron Man 1. They were going to tie it together so perfectly, with the Ten Rings terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony coming full circle, their leader finally showing his face. With quotes like "Heroes, there is no such thing", "Some people call me a terrorist, I consider myself a teacher", and "You'll neverrrrr seeeee me coming". We were terrified. We were excited. We were ready. And what did we get? Trevor. Trevor Slattery. Oh, and Aldrich Killian wailing "I am the Mandarin!" Well, at least we've got All Hail the King...
